not sure how much I love Landry next to Gasol. Both are obviously great players, but part of Gasol's success has been that both he and ZBo can play the high post, where as I'm not sure Landry has that skill, and I think limiting Gasol's touches down-low could be harmful.

My thoughts- Points will not be a problem with this group. I've got inside scoring, three point shooting (Hill), and oh yeah, Kobe. Perimeter defense is still great with Kobe and Hill (probably top 3 defensive PG). Interior defense is still suspect, but Boozer is underrated in my eyes (DRtg of 100) and an exceptional rebounder. Lopez is blocking 2.2 shots per game by the way.

Basically, if you ain't scoring 100+ points, you're going to have a hard time beating this core.

Open to others thought's as well.

Spot on except for the fact that Hill is not a great 3 point shooter if anything an average one

Hill is 37% for his career, so while not "elite" he's at the very least, slightly above average. Two seasons ago he was at 40% (SAS). Playing next to Kobe (and with excellent inside scoring) ought to get him numerous wide open shots.
